Scramble up a short bench of rock to a gap below the first continuous crack. Begin the fun by getting up into the double crack system and follow this over easy stone to a ledge. Make a bouldery move off the ledge to gain another cool crack system and move into some interesting texture rock above. From another small ledge, jam your way into another crack. You can take it directly or find big holds nearby. At the bushy ledges, the climbing turns into scrambling. Go left here and mantel onto the spacious belay ledge. 2" gear is essential for the anchor. You wouldn't want to go straight into the next pitch - the rope drag would be awful.

The second pitch follows the obvious corner dihedral. There is still some loose rock in the middle, and some of the flakey holds may come off with more ascents. As it is now, it is spicy, but very easy. Climb gently. A combination of jamming, stemming, and face climbing gets you to the rough-textured and pocketed triangular inset at the top of the dihedral, below the roof. The moves are slightly overhanging, but the holds are very positive. It may seem intuitive to punch straight up and out the roof, but there doesn't appear to be any possible placements, and a fall would slam you back into the wall. You can step out right with an extended .5" piece, reach around the corner and get a great jug, then move over onto the ledge. A final series of airy but very easy moves puts you on a small grassy ledge with many belay options. Building an anchor at the level ground above is not recommended - there are few placements and it would increase rope drag.

This route is not in any guidebooks, and was quite an adventure to discover, clean, and send. Although according to local knowledge "it was climbed many years ago," the memories made on that day - involving lots of watermelon, Lucky Strikes, and great friends - have inspired me to name it and assert our small bit of influence here.
